Dear friends,

If you were there last year, you need no
further explanation. But for the rest of you:

this February 9th-16th, a seasonal affective disorder clinic
will materialize in our backyard, likely in the form of a
large glowing pyramid.

Inside, the winter-afflicted souls
of Portland will receive therapy consisting of
bright lights, fizzy beverages, cultural events,
fabulous outfits and wisdom from outer space.
You will be stunned to realize just how much
bright light can cheer you up!

Ladies, gentlemen, and the transfabulous:
we are proud to present ...

This year we will bring more light
to the dark, dreary Portland winter
